Increased Risk of Adverse Neurocognitive Outcomes With Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin-Kexin Type 9 Inhibitors.
BACKGROUND There is encouraging evidence of the efficacy of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors; however, their long-term safety remains unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of studies to evaluate the long-term safety of PCSK9 inhibitors. METHODS AND RESULTS Our search strategy yielded 11 studies (9 smaller early-phase and 2 larger outcome trials). The outcomes a...
متن کاملPCSK9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) inhibitors: past, present, and the future.
Reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), mainly with statins, has decreased the risk of cardiovascular events over the last few decades. However, there are several patient populations that warrant further decrease in LDL-C by additional cholesterol-lowering therapy other than statins. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are a new class of drugs that...
متن کاملIdentification of Potential Inhibitors for Lowering Cholesterol Level by Inhibiting Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin 9
Objective: Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9) has medical significance in lowering cholesterol levels. Inhibitors target and inactivate PCSK9 in the liver. Knocking out PCSK9 reduces the amount of harmful low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) circulating in the bloodstream. There are two known inhibitors for treating the cardiovascular disease “Arilocumab” and “Evalocumab.” ...
متن کاملProprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 enzyme inhibitors: An emerging new therapeutic option for the treatment of dyslipidemia
The treatment of hypercholesterolemia entered in a new phase of development with the introduction of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors in the market. The Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency recently approved the alirocumab and evolocumab, subcutaneously injectable monoclonal antibody every 2 or 4 weeks against PCSK9, for the treatment of hyp...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Proprotein Convertase Inhibitors for Inhibition of Embryo Implantation
Uterine proprotein convertase (PC) 6 plays a critical role in embryo implantation and is pivotal for pregnancy establishment. Inhibition of PC6 may provide a novel approach for the development of non-hormonal and female-controlled contraceptives. We investigated a class of five synthetic non-peptidic small molecule compounds that were previously reported as potent inhibitors of furin, another P...
